My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 356: New Positions

Once Elysia sealed the deal, she shook Lin Yan’s hand. Maya and Nina would soon fly to China to join the underworld society’s headquarters.

"Nice chatting with you, Young Master Lin Yan. May I know the name of this underworld society?" Elysia laughed lightly. She has done many things but has yet to know the name of this underworld society.

"It’s Phantom Council. You caused so much disturbance and alerted many branch leaders without knowing this beforehand?" Lin Yan smiled awkwardly.

"You just told me. If it weren’t for them crossing my bottom line, I wouldn’t have involved myself to this extent, let alone taking care of these things. I’ve helped my friend’s family for the better, but the dead have already departed from the world. Those directly involved have been properly punished. I hope you fulfill my request, or I don’t know what I might do later." Elysia indicated an implied threat at the end of her sentence.

"I’m sorry for the loss. I will personally handle the new laws and orders." Lin Yan wiped his sweat nervously.

He had already received information regarding what was happening at the Underworld Society branch in Southeast Asia.

The mysterious expert before him destroyed several gangs and organizations. Not a single person was allowed to escape scot-free. Those people received severe beatings, permanent disability, or power abolition.

The mysterious expert before him could abolish the esper’s superpower! It was enough to threaten anyone. If they could be friends, he had to do everything to ensure good relations, regardless of what happened.

"That’s good. You manage the rest and arrange the new positions for them." Elysia stood up, about to leave.

But her sudden movement surprised Maya.

Maya wished to say something to her young master, but she didn’t know how. Whatever it was, she didn’t want her young master to leave her.

"He is a smart person. He will arrange everything for you. You need to monitor this society and become stronger. I will come to see you again soon." Elysia gave Maya a head pat before leaving the discussion table.

"Mm." Maya blushed a little and nodded like an obedient child.

"Oh, right... My name is El. My previous name was just a pseudonym for messing with those people. Strangely, no one was offended by that. See you again. I expect good news from you." Elysia waved her hand in farewell while walking into the shadows among the walls. Ai was waiting for her there.

*Thud*

A man tied up like a cocoon was thrown out of the shadows.

"Hmm-hng!" Surin was terrified by what had happened. He continued to writhe like a caterpillar, trying to free himself from the rope that tied him like a cocoon.

"..." Lin Yan blinked his eyes in astonishment. He still didn’t understand how the mysterious expert, known as Young Master El, could disappear in the shadows.

Shadow was his superpower. However, he could only control shadows, not become a shadow.

Then, the noisy cocoon-like person on the floor caught his attention. "Who is it?"

"It’s Surin..." Maya covered her mouth.

"What? Young master said that Surin changed his face. Is this person him?" Nina was shocked and immediately moved to confirm it.

She took a penknife and tore the tied man’s face a little. Sure enough, she discovered it was the silicon skin, the fake face.

After tearing off more fake skin, she gritted her teeth in anger because it was really Surin.

"You would never have thought that I was still alive, right? It’s unfortunate, but it seems like you can no longer use your superpower. Do you know the suffering I went through that day? You are so cruel and vicious, but I am a simple person. I’m going to end you." Nina grabbed a gun from inside her jacket.

She only had one bullet, and she prepared it only for this opportunity.

"Hnng!" Surin tried to apologize and beg for mercy, but the girl before him could see nothing but pure hatred and revenge. The cold muzzle was aimed right at his forehead.

*Bang!*

Nina spoke nothing more and pulled the trigger, killing the man who harmed and tortured her that day.

"Throw him out and clean up the mess." Lin Yan shrugged his shoulders.

Several people took the dead Surin away, and dozens of other people started to clean up the mess and handle the chaos. During that occasion, the casino was closed and tightly guarded by many guards, preventing any information from getting out.

"Miss Maya, congratulations on your awakening. It is truly an incomparable good fortune to receive favor from mysterious expert El." Lin Yan made a steeple of his hands, exuding a noble aura typical of an upper-class elite.

Because the mysterious expert was no longer around, he could regain his composure as the supreme leader and the secret backer of the underworld society, his Phantom Council.

"Thank you, Sir Lin Yan. I am fortunate to serve Young Master Yor-, Young Master El." Maya glanced at the shadow where her young master had gone, then focused on the S-Class expert before her eyes.

"I will arrange everything for your new position as the main inspector at the Phantom Council. However, I want to hear your story about how you met Young Master El. Can you elaborate a little?" Lin Yan tried to peer deeper. As the lady favored by that mysterious expert, she probably knows more than what she doesn’t know.

"Young Master is a mysterious expert. He disguised as a random lucky guy, the drunkard, last night. He messed up the system by winning a lot of games and won a total of 480 million. His pseudonym at that time was Yorva Ther. He--"

Maya explained a brief summary of how she could meet her young master. As for how she received his favor, she didn’t really understand either. However, he was fond of her hidden ability and helped her to awaken her superpower.

"Haha! That’s Yorva, Yorva Ther, Your Father, right? I see... he even wondered about why no one caught the taunt when he came to mess around." Lin Yan covered his eyes and laughed out loud.

He then caught his breath and sighed. "I understand. It’s a great loss for this branch to overlook your true value. However, Young Master El has a profound eye for finding your talent."

"..." Maya just nodded in response. She was fully aware of her former position.

She was one of the high-class beauties groomed to entrap influential, rich people. Her seductive charm and sexy body were her trump cards. She did everything to preserve herself and survive in the cruel world, and the time when she could change her fate finally arrived. Her new master granted her a new life. She had to make better use of her opportunity and superpower.

"..." Nina remained silent. She thanked Young Master El in her mind and looked aside.

She knew Maya was hiding the most crucial part from Lin Yan. Their Young Master El granted Maya a superpower. She took it as Maya tried to protect Young Master El’s secret, and she also had to protect it.

"Well then, there are several things that Young Master El wants to implement immediately. Let’s get moving, Inspector Maya." Lin Yan stood up. He was still intrigued about what kind of abilities this pretty bunny girl had, and he would discover it soon.

Maya and Nina followed Lin Yan to leave the casino. Before leaving, they gave a final bow to their caretaker once.

They were fully aware that Grandmaster Chuai had his own troubles and reasons for abandoning them. However, he was still the one who looked after and educated them for years. They never blamed him for not being able to protect them.

"You’ve found a good master. Go and explore the world." Chuai sent his proteges away proudly.

Among all his proteges, Maya and Nina probably had the most incredible luck because they got such a powerful master.

Maya and Nina just nodded and spoke nothing more. They got into Lin Yan’s car and left the area.

Dozens of black cars drove straight to the airport, and Lin Yan’s elite team flew to China that afternoon.

Meanwhile, Elysia had arrived in North America to meet her only follower on Earth. Even though Erina’s loyalty had dropped significantly, Erina was still her old friend.

While Elysia was preparing to meet Erina, the World Unity Force’s higher-ups and global elites were holding a secret meeting inside humanity’s ultimate weapon, the super-class mothership, in the sea near the coast of New Jersey, USA.

"It’s been two days since the spiritual energy decline occurred. Today, Earth’s spiritual power is estimated to have less than 30% remaining. Those at level 50 or below will not be affected, but for level 51 and above... we cannot recover our power to the maximum without the help of spirit stones. The impact in the southern hemisphere is still unknown, and the reason for this phenomenon is still unknown."

The senior commander announced the essence of the problem that was occurring.

"It must all be the work of those otherworldly monsters! They sucked Earth’s energy! We should launch our advanced nuclear missiles to eliminate them for good." The blue silhouette hologram exclaimed furiously.

"And it will cause extreme winters and deadly radiation that will wipe out more than 70% of humanity as well."

"You must be a new person who replaced the old blue. Do you think there is no reason why we and those monsters never fought it out to exterminate each other?"

"Listen, new kid. Humanity can win the battle, but we will still lose the war."

"Then, what actually happened? I could only recover my power to the level of a B-Class esper. That would require tons of spirit stones to recover my power to peak condition."

"Spirit stones will become super high in demand in the market. However, we need to find the reason behind this phenomenon. The cultivation spots with abundant spiritual energy are starting to fade away one by one."

"The situation in the south is not fare better either. Our satellites have captured the footage. The southern hemisphere is also declining."

The discussions become heated when everyone has information, opinions, and aspirations to convey.

After a few moments, the senior commander put the conclusion. "We need to strengthen and increase our mining industry for spirit stones. This situation led to temporary peace because we, as humanity and the monster sides, are both on alert because of this sudden phenomenon. We must strengthen our borders in the middle sphere and put those monsters in check."
